The Pax approach

The zone that runs, drafts, explains, and saves.

Low-touch by design

Routine work runs itself.

  • Resolve the obvious

    Apply approved, reversible fixes to supported low-risk data issues, and keep the original value, the change, and the governing rule.

  • Spot what looks unusual

    Flag supported inconsistencies in values, origins, quantities, timing, item relationships, and inventory behavior, with the affected records attached.

  • Prepare the investigation

    Assemble what changed, why it matters, and a supported next step. A person confirms it before anything binding happens.

Traceability & reporting

Trace any movement. Prove any number.

  • Admission to exit, and back

    Follow merchandise through inventory and production to withdrawal, or start with a filing line and trace back to the source records that support it.

  • Duty and savings, from the same records

    See duty deferred on inventory, duty owed on the week's entry, and savings by treatment, computed from the records you file from.

  • Evidence for period close

    Bring reconciliation, reporting work, and audit-support preparation into the same operating workflow.

Move with evidence

Start with your data.
Prove it before you switch.

  • Bring representative sources

    Begin with actual ERP, WMS, broker, file, and document outputs, and confirm what each field and event means in your operation.

  • Translate the agreed meaning

    Pax maps source facts into governed FTZ records and makes every transformation reviewable. Less client-side development, not less discovery.

  • Reconcile the opening state

    Validate supported balances, inventory identities, status, authorities, and unresolved differences before activation.

  • Run in parallel, then activate

    Process representative work beside your current process, compare balances and outputs, complete UAT, and activate only the verified workflows.

FAQ

  • 01

    What does the Pax FTZ workspace cover?

    More than an inventory control and recordkeeping system (ICRS). Pax is ABI-certified and supports self-filing of E-214 admissions, 3461 releases, 7501 entry summaries, and 7512 in-bonds, on top of inventory, zone status, production, withdrawals, and reconciliation. Routine intake, checks, and drafting run in the background. Your team reviews and decides.

  • 02

    Is Pax built for new operators or FTZ experts?

    Both. New operators see what happened, why it matters, and what decision is needed, in plain language. Experts can open the detail: inventory layers, zone status, classifications, source values, rule results, and revisions.

  • 03

    How does switching from our current FTZ system work?

    We offer complimentary migration from most FTZ systems. Pax loads your opening balances, inventory layers, and zone status, reconciles them against your current records, and goes live only when they match.

  • 04

    How do we get started?

    We start with your source data, confirm what each field means, map it into governed FTZ records, and reconcile the opening state. Book a call to learn more.
